Loss of Symptoms

I just finished my 9th week of pregnancy and all of a sudden the symptoms that I had seem to have gotten much more mild. It seem too early for them to be easing up and so now I am completely paranoid. I would not say I feel 100% all the time but 2 weeks ago I could barely keep my head up and I was extremely nauseous. It wasn't fun but at least I new things were working. Today I have a few mild waves of nausea but they pass quickly, my energy seems better and I feel hungry for the first time in a month. I have not had any bleedng or cramping but I didnt when I lost Grace either - I am so worried that this fetus died just like she did and when I go on 10/1 there will no longer be a heartbeat (they found a strong one at 7 weeks). Has anyone started feeling better so early? It was 12 weeks before I felt better with Gracie. Thanks for listening.

My symptoms would come and go at first. I wish we were able to enjoy good days and feeling good, but it brings us fear. I would call your dr and request bloodwork and ultrasound for reassurance. Hang in there. Hugs

I agree with Cynthia, no need to wait and worry - your doc should be able to squeeze you in for a quick heart tone check to assuage your fears. I stressed out around 10 or 12 weeks and they did a quick ultrasound so we could see the heartbeat again and I felt worlds better.

Yes, I&#039;m there and you know we are almost exactly the same as far as weeks. My symptoms have eased and with Noa I was a complete wreck until it was 20 weeks. I&#039;m nervous too, but really, I have nothing that I can do. I keep telling myself to let go, I just can&#039;t live like this. My next appnt is on 10/2 so we&#039;ll share notes, hopefully good notes. My hubby is worried out of his mind, he almost called the doc to see if we could go in this week. I feel so bad for him.
Hang in there, you are not alone.
Hugs,

I had no symptoms in this pregnancy and I am now 6 months along. I was always worried. However, I agree with Cynthia, just call your doctor and get an ultrasound just to reassure yourself. HAng in there. xo allison

I&#039;m having a good day today and hardly any nausea this afternoon (normally plotting my trips by who lets you use the bathrooms). So I&#039;m not feeling drained but I&#039;m still peeing like it&#039;s going out of style. I also thought if I&#039;m not dying something is wrong it&#039;s hard to stay positive sometimes. See if your doc can fit you in, she should understand your stress and be able to squeeze you in.

My doc told me that he would allow me to come in anytime to do a heartbeat check. They would get me right in. #1 I live an hour away so that was sort of defeating the purpose but nice of him...#2 I got a heartbeat monitor and it has been a God Send!

It&#039;s hard, damned if you have extreme nausea, damned if you don&#039;t. I don&#039;t really (didn&#039;t in the past either), but this scares me bcs you&#039;re supposed to feel icky &amp; I just don&#039;t. So I get you. Please take deep breaths &amp; hope you&#039;re doing better today.

Thanks for the replies ladies. I made it through to this week and have a doctors appointment on Thursday. I am counting down the minutes. I was extremely nauseous again last night and even a little today so I guess I have to accept symptoms can come and go. I am do nervous about Thursday ---waiting for her to find a heartbeat will be absolutely EXCRUCIATING.

So glad to hear from you. I&#039;m glad you are having some symptoms come back. Keep us posted after your appt. I&#039;ll be praying for you to hear the sweet sound of your baby&#039;s heartbeat on Thurs. Hugs,Cynthia

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
